The glory of a long fifth day

Season 10, Ep 17: Astonishing news for The Final Word this week: Adam had a holiday. The first time he's missed in 362 shows. Daniel Norcross fills in with Geoff, and luxuriates in recalling the  glorious last day of the England-India Test at Lord's, as well as the  last-wicket win that West Indies somehow produced against Pakistan.  You'll also learn just how passionate that night became between Daniel  and former New Zealand captain Jeremy Coney. 

Also this week: Justin Langer's troubles bubbling over, Australia and  England release their players once more to the IPL, a schedule is out  for the T20 World Cup, and we update how things have gone with the  Hundred.

The audio is here.

Story Time 58 – When Uncle Rod Marsh was king

Last weekend: someone who managed one sixtieth of a Test career, and someone  who managed an average that no one else has matched. The lows into  highs of a player we've loved to recall. And a magical mystery tour  through some of the most wild selector logic.
